Gotleg replied to Gotleg's discussion APM 2 not detected by windows ?"OK great news, I bought a new USB cable and the board started. Leds are blinking like a christmas tree :-)
Thanks !"
Michael Pursifull replied to Gotleg's discussion APM 2 not detected by windows ?"Do you have an ESC and a lipo? If so, connect them to the APM on the servo rail as shown in the wiki, and watch to see if the green power LED lights up.
Unless you have the green power LED, nothing will happen with the board. Maybe there is…"
Gotleg commented on Jordi Muñoz's blog post Please welcome ArduPilotMega 2.0!"Hi,
I just received my fresh new APM2 this morning by Fedex. It was a long wait but now it's ok.
My problem is when I plug the APM2 to the usb, nothing happens. No led, windows doesn"t detect anything even in the device manager.
Any idea…"
Michael Pursifull replied to Gotleg's discussion APM 2 not detected by windows ?"Like an iPhone/iPod charger? You maybe already have something. USB is +5v, many USB chargers will work. Some might not be powerful enough to power the APM and attach things also, so unless you know the electronics, don't add anything except the…"
Gotleg replied to Gotleg's discussion APM 2 not detected by windows ?"No for the moment no led, I'll buy a wall plug to test this."
Michael Pursifull replied to Gotleg's discussion APM 2 not detected by windows ?"It sounds like your USB is not giving power to the board. Look at the diagrams at http://code.google.com/p/ardupilot-mega/wiki/LED for the LED meanings. You should see the "ON"/Power LED.
Do you have another USB power source?…"
Gotleg replied to Gotleg's discussion APM 2 not detected by windows ?"Hi Mike, thanks for helping me.
There is no light on the board. I can't install driver for the moment because the board is not visible in the Device manager.
I already tried another USB port but not the cable. I don't have another one.

Michael Pursifull replied to Gotleg's discussion APM 2 not detected by windows ?"Did you load the FTDI drivers?
Are there any lights on the APM2 when you plug in the USB?
If not, do you have another USB port or computer you can try?

Gotleg commented on Jordi Muñoz's blog post Please welcome ArduPilotMega 2.0!"Do you think it'll be shipped this week ? Waiting since 7 december, I know we've never been so close but it's long ... more than 8 weeks ;-)"
Gotleg commented on Jordi Muñoz's blog post Please welcome ArduPilotMega 2.0!"OK thanks ! That was what I need to know. I thought maybe 3DR rembizi board was also working with mavlink but as it is not I'll probably use miniOSD."
